Drawing on diverse influences from the worlds of science, performance art and contemporary dance, Xavier Le Roy welcomes us to a white stage resembling a research lab, and gradually starts to transform into different kinds of creatures, some recognisable and others rather indeterminable.
Using his body and very few pieces of clothing, he constructs in a systematic way a series of images that tease our imagination, often surprise us, and subvert our inherent tendency to want to identify and define the bodily forms he proposes.
